To: Nintendo Co., Ltd. and all related parties involved in the Mario franchise,

We, the undersigned, are passionate fans of the Super Mario series and the iconic character that has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. Charles Martinet, the legendary voice behind Mario, has been an integral part of what makes the character so beloved. His energetic, joyful, and instantly recognizable voice has been central to the Mario experience for decades, creating unforgettable memories for fans of all ages.

It is with great disappointment that we have learned of the decision to move forward without Charles Martinet continuing as the voice of Mario. While we respect Nintendo’s decisions, we strongly believe that Charles Martinet is irreplaceable in this role, and his contributions to the Mario franchise are unparalleled. His voice is synonymous with the charm, fun, and nostalgia that define Mario.

We respectfully request that Nintendo reconsider this decision and rehire Charles Martinet to continue as the voice of Mario.
We believe:

Charles Martinet is not just the voice of Mario, but a symbol of the fun and magic that has defined the franchise.
Fans worldwide associate Mario’s voice with Charles Martinet's iconic performance, and changing it diminishes that long-standing connection.
Rehiring Charles would reinforce Nintendo's commitment to its fans and show appreciation for the decades of loyalty we’ve shown.
As fans, we deeply respect the work and legacy of Charles Martinet and believe his continued involvement will enrich the future of the Mario series. We ask Nintendo to honor the voice that made Mario a global icon and to keep Charles Martinet as the voice of this legendary character.

Sign this petition if you believe that Charles Martinet’s voice should remain the voice of Mario!
Together, we can let Nintendo know how much Charles Martinet’s performance means to all of us. Let’s preserve the magic of Mario for generations to come!
